330cc Allergan Moderate Profile for Natural Looking Breasts?

I am currently a 34C. I have 2 kids, breastfed, but have only level 2 ptosis. I want to avoid a Breast lift and to have a small D.

I want to be fuller, but not too big, slightly augmented look. If I use Allergan moderate profile at 330ccs will that achieve my goal?

Implants to avoid a lift

If you have Grade II ptosis, then you more than likely will need a lift. The implants will add volume and very little lift.

Using an implant to avoid a breast lift may be a method of short term prevention but may postpone the inevitable.

How to avoid Breast Lift

To avoid a breast lift with an augmentation would be to not have the augmentation. Performing an augmentation really does not provide a lift, specially if you have grade 2 ptosis. You would need a lift along with the augmentation to have a superior result. Hope that helps.

Natural result without mastopexy

Hi, Without seeing a picture, or having measurements, it's hard to be too definitive regarding the appropriate implant selection. That being said, given that you are a 34C, 330 cc moderate profile sounds in the right ballpark. The bigger issue is your desire to avoid a mastopexy with grade 2 ptosis. Grade 2 ptosis is not insignificant. Placement of an implant without some type of lift runs the risk of a poor cosmetic result. If you truly wish to avoid the scars associated with a... more

Grade 2 ptosis might be a problem

There is a lot of information that would be required to give you a solid answer. So with the information you have provided I will give you my opinion. The grade 2 ptosis will not have much improvement with 330 cc implants. If your implants settle into the breast fold and the nipple height is still below your fold it will not look very good. Many women with grade 2 ptosis will need a lift. Make sure to have this discussion with your surgeon. The size of the implant will probably... more

Breast implant sizes.

Hi! 1) Yours is a very common situation, and I have rather long experience. I can tell you that if you have significant sagging, it is a mistake to avoid a breast lift. We have done a lot of revisions in women with sagging who just had implants, and were miserable afterwards. 2) The implant choice you mention sounds reasonable, but it is not your job to select the breast implants. That's part of what you pay your surgeon to do! Your surgeon should put disposable implant SIZERS in your... more

Implant choice individualized for most natural results

Two really important considerations for you: First, implant type needs to be based on the base diamter of the breast; if the implant has a diameter larger than the breast, it will be squeezed and the result is ripples. The size of the implant is determined simply by what size you prefer; there are no perfect methods to make the decision but trying implant sizers in a bra that you like is a good place to start. Once you know the size then your surgeon can determine the best implant style to... more

Allergan 330 for natural result

The implant you describe is a moderate size. To answer your question more reliably more information is needed regarding your breast, chest and soft tissue measurements. Your evaluating surgeon may measure the base width of your natural breast. He/she may also assess the thickness and stretch of the breast tissue. A measurement of the distance from the sternal notch(that v shaped notch at the bottom of your neck in the midline) to the nipple will give an idea of of the degree of nipple... more
